El Segundo is a fantastic community oriented city in the South Bay. It offers a great small town feel, charming downtown and Main Street areas, award winning schools and proximity to the beach. From a real estate perspective, however, parts of El Segundo do have their challenges….and it’s all about the location. The challenge El Segundo has is that it happens to have some less than appealing neighbors. Directly to the north lies LAX, or Los Angeles International Airport. To the west lies the Hyperion Waste Water Treatment Plant. To the south lies the Chevron Oil Refinery (although the areas nearest to the refinery of primarily commercial) and to the east is a relatively busy, but nice commercial and retail corridor with high rise buildings, hotels and strip malls. Although each area may require some compromise on the part of buyers, each does offer lower prices than the neighborhoods in the center of town. If you’re working with a realtor, make sure that they are familiar with El Segundo and can offer insight into just what the various neighborhoods are like.

The real estate market in El Segundo continues to be hot with very low inventory and prices continuing to rise. Summer months are traditionally very active due to the award winning school system and proximity to the coast. El Segundo has a wonderful small town feel and is conveniently located close to all that Los Angeles and the South Bay has to offer.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen more than just one or two single family homes for sale in the neighborhood of Hollyglen which may start to ease some of the pent up demand in this somewhat secret neighborhood. Although it has a Hawthorne mailing address, this great neighborhood is an unincorporated area and enjoys it’s own award winning school system known as the Wiseburn District. Hollyglen sits just north of Rosecrans and just west of the 405 freeway and has remained somewhat of an unknown jewel in South Bay real estate. I has the feel of Torrance neighborhoods of West Torrance and Southwood, with tree lined streets, schools within walking distance, and offer a very safe and social neighborhood feel. As of April 2, 2014 there are 7 single family homes for sale in Hollyglen, with 3 new construction in the 360 South Bay community, 2 additional homes in Del Aire (but west of the 405 so in somewhat similar neighborhood) priced from $544,000 (Del Aire) to $890,000 for a 4 bedroom new construction in 360. Prices for a 3/2 single family built in the 1950s, which most are, generally range lately between $640,000 and $690,000

One of the nice aspects of El Segundo is that, unlike some of its neighbor cities to the south, it still retains a small town feel. One of the reasons for this is that instead of every “beach bungalow” being torn down and replace with mini mansions that overwhelm the smaller lots, many homes are updated and upgraded and have their original charm. 841 Loma Vista is one of these.

El Segundo offers residents a small town feel yet closer to key parts of Los Angeles such as LAX, downtown, Santa Monica and more. Located just north of Manhattan Beach and just east of Los Angeles airport, El Segundo is a true community with a charming downtown area, fantastic school system, endless activities and beautiful Dockweiler Beach.
